Seems rather clear that the OP has the very same thought and is just pointing out that a much more well know character agrees, and has stated it to a wider audience.
I dont recall that quote but the Zappa quote that I never forget happens to apply to most Hogsters: "Shut up and play your guitar".
Take heed.
Can't I do not have a guitar.
And I stand by my comment.

You are missing the point.
Editing with AI is fine (we did it w/o knowing it anyway). Verbal, typed instruction is similar to using sliders, check box and whatever else is used. Now I have serious doubts about this as AI cannot read your mind and will not know what your ideas, concepts are. Another issue I have is that AI will suppress many original creations by being bland, souless.
What is upsetting folks is images created entirely with AI and presented as photographs. They are anything but.
IT'S A KRAKEN!!!
See the number of tentacles?

They are one and the same .....
Actually they are not.
► AI Generated = Pure AI, nothing is realistic or even close to it.
► AI enhanced = The base of the image is a digital capture.
AI picture enhanced comment:→ Every edit we make is using software is using AI under a different name. Difference? We do it using buttons, sliders, whatever.
→ As a buzz word, AI is just another way to instruct the software to do something w/o having to learn the software. However, because AI cannot read our mind and understand subtleties, we are far from having anything truly usable when editing an image. As long as we do not take the above into account, we will never agree into anything.

Actually, we all do, ever since we had paint programs. The difference today is instead of learning how to do something, we learn to give instructions to a piece of **** with the vain hope it will do what we mean, think, want or desire.
Try that with a human being. There is what you said, what you mean then there is what is heard, what is interpreted... Then the human will look at you and depending on what he thinks of your words and how polite the person is, he will give you a completely unexpected answer or does something weird. OOPS, there goes intra personal communication.*
Seen that way, AI is a sharp regression on freedom to create, even if surreal scenes are created. Where are the skills? The know how? If we all give the same command we should all have the same results unless there is something really wrong with the so-called AI.
If I have to type or dictate something to create anything, I can just go back to writing weird stuff.

I recall my brother-in-law asking his daughter (she was 25 or so) to bring him a coat hanger. She did, she bought the coat hanger next to the entrance...

I agree with you that the lines are getting blurred. But where do you stop? If you would allow a totally AI created image to be posted in any of the UHH sections, why not paintings?
Yes, that is why there is an AI exclusive section.
For mixed photograph
and AI blended there is also a section, two even.
